Perception Lobe: Neuron List

You might remember that the last post I did that was actually about Creatures was on brains. You might also remember that I couldn't find anywhere that had a full list of what neurons in the perception lobe corresponded to which perceivable thing, so I put together my own list based on Chris's information on CDR. I also never got around to posting that list because I wanted to test it more.

Now, I was about to carry out some massive experiment to confirm what my list says, but as soon as I opened up BrainViewer I realised there was a pretty obvious way to check my list:

Whelp, there we go. Job done. I feel really stupid for not noticing this before. Anyway, the list I made checked out perfectly. And even though there is already the information about which neuron in the perception lobe correspond to what, it's still useful to have a separate list that can be used to analyse cells in the concept lobe to figure out what the concept it represents is at a glance without needing to switch back and forth between lobes in BrainViewer.

So, you can download the list in spreadsheet form here, or you can read it from the list below.

"Perception lobe cell" refers to the cell number in the perception lobe. "Original lobe" refers to the lobe that that cell draws from, and "cell" refers to what thing in Albia the cell relates to. If something is marked with "N/A" it means that that cell has no real function because it does not relate to anything, or that it is a spare, unused neuron.
